Saving your customized social media posts as drafts makes it easier for you to take a break whenever you like and continue working at a later time. Or, use your drafts for repurposing your social media posts. Just save your customized and scheduled social media posts as drafts and re-use these drafts again. 

Did you know: You can also save drafts of your content curation posts.

Please note:
Saved drafts are only visible for the user who created these drafts. Drafts are not shared between users.

 

Save time by re-using your Posts

Time is the most important resource in our daily lives. Re-purposing your evergreen content will extend your reach and the lifetime of your content. By saving your customizing work as drafts, you can simply re-use customized social media posts to create more variations much easier and faster. This saves time that you can spend on other things (like creating valuable content or engaging with your community). Just save your customized and scheduled social media posts as drafts and re-use these drafts again at a later time. As often as you like!

 

How to save your customized Posts as Drafts

You can save your customizations in the one-page preview editor of the Social Media Scheduling & Sharing section to edit or share them at a later time.
To do this, go to your Blog2Social Dashboard and click on "Social Media Posts". You will then automatically be taken to "All Posts", where you can see all your posts you made so far.
Select the blog posts you want to share by clicking on "Share on Social Media".

Select Blog Post

 

You can now individually customize your post for each network in the Blog2Social one-page preview editor: add custom text, @-handles and hashtags, change pictures and define posting times.

All of your customizations, as well as your network selection and scheduling times will be saved in your draft. If you are happy with your settings, click on "Save as Draft".

Save as Draft

 

Please note:
If you try to save a draft for a WordPress post that already has an existing draft, you will be notified that saving your draft will overwrite the previous one. Please ensure you are okay with this before proceeding.

 

How to edit your Drafts

If you want to continue working on your drafts later or had to interrupt your social media planning, you can reopen your drafts at any time and continue editing, modifying, and adding to them.

  • Go to "Social Media Posts" -> "Drafts".
  • Select the draft of the post you want to use and click "Edit draft".
  • The post preview will now open.

All your created posts, including your scheduling and selected network grouping, will be loaded. You can make changes and additions as needed. Once you’re finished, Blog2Social can automatically publish your posts. Alternatively, you can save your updated planning as a new draft (this will overwrite the previous draft).

 

Marking Posts as Favorites

Another way to easily find specific posts is by using the Favorites option. Simply click on the star icon next to the post you want to mark as a favorite.

Mark as Favorite

 

Once marked, the post will be listed under the "Favorites" menu, making it easier to find and share.
